It's almost time to relax from schoolwork and enjoy the Christmas holidays. I hope it will be well-deserved!
Our Comenius project will continue in January. We will read and study the Icelandic saga called Laeksdelasaga. It is all about the beginning of the Icelandic nation, Vikings and their culture.
The Comenius team will start planning a new theme week at our school, or maybe just a few days this time. This will happen right before or after (or maybe both) our second Comenius meeting in Iceland on March 23-29th. Four 9th-grade students - Ria, Ilona, Piia and Laura - will attend the meeting together with Hanna and Marja.
We will also start planning the third Comenius meeting, which will take place here in Iittala at the beginning of October next year. The theme will be Aleksis Kivi and his novel Seven Brothers. We will have to find a family for about 20 students from the other Comenius countries.
A Comenius Club will also start. The idea is to make a musical (Aleksis Rock musical) to be performed for the whole school, parents and for the other Comenius teams during the meeting in Iittala.
A Merry Christmas and A Happy, Successful New Year for everyone!
